在我们的社会中，情感支持动物（ESAs）的存在引起了大量的关注，无论是在大众媒体还是专业文献中。公共媒体充斥着关于越来越多的动物被称为ESA的故事，这种增长对社会的影响，声称认证ESA的行业，以及各种类型的动物被描述为“认证”。作者提出了一个ESA认证的评估模型，包括四个方面的方法来进行这些类型的评估：（1）理解、认识和应用监管ESA的法律，（2）对请求ESA认证的个人进行彻底有效的评估，（3）对所涉动物进行评估，以确保其实际履行ESA的有效功能，和（4）评估动物和个体之间的相互作用，以确定动物的存在是否对该个体具有明显的有益效果。该模式符合职业道德，专业实践标准和法律，并寻求为进行ESA评估的心理健康专业人员提供明确的指导方针。
Growth in the presence of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) in our society has recently garnered a substantial amount of attention, both in the popular media and the professional literature. Public media abounds with stories focusing on the increasing number of animals claimed as ESAs, the impact of this growth on society, the industry claiming to certify ESAs, and the various types of animals described as “certified.” The authors propose an assessment model for ESAs certification comprising a four-pronged approach for conducting these types of assessments: (1) understanding, recognizing, and applying the laws regulating ESAs, (2) a thorough valid assessment of the individual requesting an ESA certification, (3) an assessment of the animal in question to ensure it actually performs the valid functions of an ESA, and (4) an assessment of the interaction between the animal and the individual to determine whether the animal’s presence has a demonstrably beneficial effect on that individual. This model aligns with professional ethics, standards of professional practice, and the law and seeks to provide clear guidelines for mental health professionals conducting ESA evaluations.
